"Venus, don’t you ride in Mr. Ye's car to the Penglai Restaurant?"
"He's...he's probably busy with work." Venus made excuses. Actually she didn't think he'd give her a lift
to the Penglai Restaurant.
"I can give you a ride to Penglai Restaurant."
"Thanks." Venus said.
As they walked downstairs, they saw Kerry's car parked below and the driver standing outside waiting
for Venus.
Venus was a little surprised that he would be waiting for her downstairs.
"Venus, you should get over there." The colleague gave her a shove.
In the car, Kerry was still reading a file. Venus got in and took a look at him, "Since you're so busy, you
can come over later."
"If I don't get there on time, they won't order food," Kerry said quietly.
"Maybe you’re thinking too much." Venus said. “All you need to do is pay when the dinner is over.”
“Actually, no one really cares if you're there." Venus thought.
Venus looked out of the window and saw that Xinyou Qiao was looking at her with a gloomy face.
"I miss my schooldays. Xinyou and I were still good friends then, but now she's always thinking about
how to frame me," Venus thought.
.
"What are you looking at?" Kerry asked suddenly.
"Xinyou Qiao," Venus said frankly. Then she said, "She is with you for a long time. Don’t you think it’s
cruel to dump her like that?
Kerry put the files down and turned to glare at her, "Don't mention her again. Believe it or not, I'm going
to push you off the car right now."
Venus shut her month up quickly.
"Kerry is so heartless. Once he cared about her, but now he just ignores her completely." Venus
thought.
The atmosphere in the car was somewhat awkward. Venus silently watched the scenery that continued
to pass by outside the window. She suddenly remembered that her birthday was in two days’ time.
Every year when it was her birthday, her brother Tianye Mu would come back to celebrate her birthday
no matter where he was.
And this year, Venus didn't even know where her brother was and he was dead or alive.
........
When Kerry and Venus arrived at the large private room in the Penglai Restaurant, the people of
design department was already there. When she looked up, she found Xinyou sitting across from her.
The dishes Kerry ordered were all Penglai Restaurant's signature dishes. When the dishes were all
served, everyone was looking right at them.
"Thank you for your hard work. Feel free to eat." Kerry raised his wine glass, "I hope everyone can
continue to work their best."
Then all the staffs raised their glasses.
Venus took a sip of the red wine and thought it wasn't bad. But she'd rather have the lobster. She put
down her glass and grabbed her chopsticks and went for the lobster.
After they had eaten for a while, someone gave Kerry a toast, "Mr. Ye, thank you for your help all these
years. I want to toast to you and Mrs. Ye."
Venus was burying her head in the food and was busy wiping her mouth and raised her glass.
She could not give Kerry face in the Ye’s family, but on this occasion, she can’t embarrass Kerry.
After a few glasses of red wine, Venus's face grew red. Sitting next to her, Kerry suddenly remembered
how she looked the last time she got drunk.
"If they toast me again, you need drink for me." Kerry leaned over to whisper in her ear.
Venus turned her head sharply, her lips touching his cheek, and she was in response quickly and sat
away from him and stared at him, "No, I refuse."
Kerry's posture hadn't changed just yet. His eyes fell on her lips. "If you don't, I'll kiss you right now." he
threatened.
"You...you’re really…." Venus didn't know how to describe him.
"Venus, don't you feel honored that I could kiss you in front of all these people?" Kerry said.
Venus was about to scold him, but then suddenly noticed her colleagues around her and swallowed
what she was about to say.
If Kerry kissed her here, she would feel awkward. She had to say, "Okay, I'll drink for you. But if I get
drunk and do something wrong, you can’t leave me on the road when we get back."
"Yeah, deal." Kerry said.
However, in Xinyou’s eyes, their conversation was showing their love to her. The jealousy took over her
mind. She couldn't go to separate them and could only keep drinking.
"Mr. Ye, thank you for supporting our department. I want to toast to you."Meiling came over with a glass
of red wine and said.
